FAQs
Install the transformer in a clean, ventilated enclosure rated for NEMA 3R or higher. Connect the primary to the 480 V supply and the secondary to the 120/240 V downstream circuits using properly rated 16 A wiring. Verify the +2.5% and -2.5% tap settings are appropriate for load conditions, and ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation and access for maintenance.
Key specs include a 10 kVA VA rating, 60 Hz single-phase operation, 480 V primary, 120/240 V secondary, 115 °C rise, and aluminum winding. These parameters determine load capacity, voltage regulation under varying loads, and thermal performance, which collectively influence reliability and sensor accuracy in automation tasks.
Yes. The unit features an indoor-outdoor rating with NEMA 3R enclosure and Weathershield compatibility, enabling dependable operation in outdoor or damp plant areas. Proper installation in an appropriate enclosure and adherence to environmental guidelines will maximize long-term reliability in process automation settings.
The transformer is UL Listed, providing recognized safety certification for electrical devices in industrial environments. It also carries Eaton’s warranty terms (25-000), offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, reducing procurement risk and supporting maintenance planning.
The S48D11S10N includes taps at +2.5% FCAN and -2.5% FCBN to better regulate voltage under supply variations, improving sensor and PLC input accuracy. This reduces unexpected equipment trips and extends mean time between repairs, lowering maintenance costs and improving overall uptime in automation systems.
